The Tayron can be equipped with a roof rack. Compliance with regulations: Some imported vehicles may have pre-drilled screw holes on the roof for installing roof racks. However, installing a roof rack or placing luggage on the roof must comply with regulations. If it does not meet the requirements, it is not allowed. Long-distance road trips: Roof racks are commonly installed by car enthusiasts who enjoy long-distance road trips. After installing the roof rack, a roof cargo box can be mounted, allowing for more storage capacity. In fact, sedans are more in need of roof racks and cargo boxes because their trunks are relatively small and have limited loading capacity. Genuine roof racks from reputable brands: When installing a roof rack, it is essential to purchase genuine products from well-known brands. The same applies when buying a roof cargo box. Car owners should never opt for cheap, low-quality products. During installation, it is crucial to ensure that the rack or box is securely fastened; otherwise, it could be extremely dangerous if it detaches while driving at high speeds.

I've been driving the Tayron for two years and have specifically researched roof rack installation. This car comes with pre-installed roof rail tracks, so you just need to purchase compatible crossbars that clip right in. Make sure to choose aluminum alloy material - it can handle up to 110 lbs of load without issues. Last week I returned from a road trip with a roof box installed, and it was extremely stable. Just be aware that adding a rack will increase wind noise and slightly reduce fuel efficiency at highway speeds. After installation, I recommend having the shop adjust the tightening screws to prevent rattling noises.

My friend just installed roof racks on his Tayron, and he said it was super easy. The car comes with pre-drilled mounting holes from the factory, so no drilling or damaging the body is needed. We went to IKEA over the weekend to haul some goods, and we strapped down a folding bike and camping gear directly. He mentioned three key considerations: choose OEM crossbars with anti-slip buckles; add a cargo net if frequently carrying heavy loads; and avoid exceeding 50 kg for the first load after installation to let the brackets settle gradually. If installing a roof tent, reinforced brackets are a must.

I've tried three types of Tharu roof racks, and the main differences lie in the installation methods. The clip-on type is the most convenient, taking only ten minutes to install or remove, but it's not suitable for long-term heavy loads. The U-bolt fixation is the most stable but requires removing interior panels. The clamp type offers high versatility but may leave gaps. Personally, I recommend the Black Knight set, which comes with silent rubber strips and wind resistance optimization design. After installation, the vehicle height increases by about 5 cm, so be cautious with height restrictions when entering underground garages. I usually remove it when not in use to prevent rubber strip aging.

As a frequent skier, installing a roof rack on the Tiguan is essential. It's recommended to purchase one with a T-slot design so that the snowboard rack can be directly clamped. Once during heavy snowfall, a regular roof rack's crossbars bent under the weight of accumulated snow, so opt for thickened aviation aluminum ones. When installing, make sure the rubber gaskets align with the roof's curvature to prevent leaks. After installation, test drive at 120 km/h to ensure there's no whistling noise. Remember not to buy one that's too wide, as exceeding the vehicle's width may attract attention from traffic police.
